Australia Flying to Ukraine’s Defense with F/A-18 Hornets?

This week, Ukraine’s ambassador to Australia indicated that it could procure Australia’s surplus of 

F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets.

According to The War Zone, Vasyl Myroshnychenko said that Kyiv was “at the early stage studying the technical characteristics and operability of the aircraft.”

This news follows closely behind the White House’s recent sharp reversal regarding its stance on providing advanced fighter platforms to Kyiv.

During the G7 Summit in Japan earlier this month, the Biden administration let go of its longstanding hesitation to send over F-16 Fighting Falcons to Ukraine following months of requests by Kyiv. While rumors have circulated regarding the possible transfer of the Royal Australian Air Force’s (RAAF) sidelined Hornets to Kyiv, this is the first real indication that such a transfer may actually transpire.
